L’UVA
L’Uva is Evelyne and Pascal Clairet’s probably most playful and carefree red natural wine. It’s 100% Ploussard, that most ancient and super-typical Jura variety, hailing from organic grapes grown on clay-marlstone soils. It’s fermented wildly and vinified with the carbonic maceration method, then aged in old oak before being bottled with no fining, filtration or added SO2. Floral, spicy and irreverent, it dances with light crimson, racing acidity: homemade lingonberry marmalade, spiced rye bread, crushed red flowers and wild tarragon.
